John Munson/The Star-LedgerCars head toward the Holland Tunnel. The Port Authority has proposed sharp tolls hikes on the Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel and George Washington Bridge. PATH fares will also increase under the plan.

If you're a New Jerseyan who drives into New York or rides PATH trains, this is your week to make yourself heard on proposed toll and fare hikes.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has scheduled hearings Tueday for the public to offer comments on the proposal.

The agency announced earlier this month that it plans to raise tolls by $4 next month on the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. That means drivers coming into the city even with E-ZPass would pay $12 during rush hour and $10 at off-peak hours.

Train fares also would rise by $1.

Tuesday's meetings are planned for sites in Jersey City and Fort Lee, as well as Newark Liberty Interantional Airport. Times and locations are at www.panynj.gov. Commuters do not have to be present at the hearings to weigh in on the toll proposal, and instead can use a special page set up by the Port Authority on its web site, www.panynj.gov/about/toll-fare-2011.html.
